THE BOMB EFFECT!!

Hi guys, i know that i am the greatest, smartest and ya may be the weirdest personality you could ever meet ( ;p ) but guys today i want to share a very normal human side of me ( oh yeah, it does exist, you wont believe i know but it does!! )

Every now and then terrorist attacks keep happening here and there and sometimes we don't even notice them, i do the same.... may be have a look at a news channel for a minute or two and then will shout at dad "dad please let me watch my cartoons!!' (yeah i like cartoons, in fact i love them, any problem!! :) )

But just a year back, one incident shattered me completely.(yeah me, imagine even me!!) yes guys I'm talking about the serial bomb blast that took place on 26th July,2008.

it was a normal evening, i was reading in my room as exams were nearby and then at around six went to canteen to have some snacks and there i heard the news on TV that serial bomb blasts had started in a'bad, already 5 had taken place, it was in a'bad so i paid some attention to it, around 5 to 10 person were dead by then and people were laughing "oh these dumb asses don't even know where to plan bombs to kill more people", other one said, " thank god we are in civil campus, nothing can happen here, this is the safest place in a'bad"... i chat with friends on the topic and looked at trauma center as ambulances had already started to come....... then i remembered that this thing is not gonna stop my exams... should get back to reading....

At around 7 p.m. relatives started calling me asking usual questions, " you are alright n?" 'don't go out' and blah blah blah........ i kept telling them that don't worry nobody attacks a hospital so i m safe here....

At 7:30 p.m i answered my dad's call the same way.... don't worry n etc etc.... and as i disconnected that call and was thinking about what should i do for dinner..... there was suddenly.... BOOMMM......... it was such a loud voice i tell you, and it almost felt like an earthquake in my hostel.. i was completely blank (yeah, me and blank, imagine!), then i thought, i should at least get out of room and go downstairs.... as i came out, i saw everybody running.....i couldn't resist my laugh even in that situation when i saw my one senior running and crying like a small baby ' mummy........mummy........' but it was only when i went down, i saw the severity of the blast...... it had occurred just beside my hostel! (later i saw that rooms on that side of hostel were in really bad shape, luckily nobody was in those rooms at that time). there was just blood and blood in front of my hostel, as i approached main gate of my hostel, there was that poor guy in really bad situation... he was bleeding from whole body, his shirt had caught fire and he was pleading to everybody 'please help me!!' (nobody could have saved him from the amount of burns he had got) it still disturbes me whenever i remember those eyes.... i was wondering what to do... i looked at trauma center and oh my god it was all fire and fire....(my hostel and trauma center are just side by side),i was wondering where to take that poor man and my friend came from behind and took me to the open ground in front of our hostel where everybody were gathering. i was still recollecting my thoughts and thinking to go to trauma center to help in this emergency and then suddenly there was...BOOMMM...... another blast!!! as i looked around i found a leg on that ground...... scene in front of trauma center was unimaginable, it was all dead bodies and blood and blood and blood......... and there i received a sms " dear, don't go out of civil campus!! if you are gone who i would flirt with??" oh bloody hell!!! it is in the campus!! apparently news hadn't spread out.... all mobile networks were blocked, just msgs were coming....... later as we got network back and i told everybody i was fine but i was really shattered.....

how can a human kill another human??!!! i just cant digest it........

we never understand some situations until we become a part of it...... that was a bloody hell of an experience......

with time most of amdavadis have forgotten it but i don't think anybody can console those people who's relatives died there, they were innocent, some of them had come to donate blood, some of them were working in hospital, and there were some doctors....... what point did terrorists prove by killing those innocent people???!!

At that point of my life , i felt how unexpected life can turn out to be.... on a normal day i would be returning from college library at that time ( don't know why, but i had decided to study at hostel that day!), or i could have been a victim of second bomb blast if i had arrived to a decision faster and went to the trauma center.............

At that stage of my life, i decided i m gonna enjoy every day of my life while pursuing for my goals and not just wait for the right time to come..... i don't know whether i m following it completely or not but these memories reminded me this again.......... let s see how life goes..... and when it stops!!!
